Mukesh Ambani and Gautam Adani, two of India's biggest businessmen, are about to invest roughly $70 billion each by the end of this decade to make green hydrogen affordable, including renewable energy plants, large-scale photovoltaic cell manufacturing, electrolyzers, storage, and transportation facilities, and other components of the hydrogen ecosystem. The government declared it would cover the cost of renewable energy used to create hydrogen at a location other than the source of the power.

TotalEnergies Halts Investment in Adani Green Amid Bribery Allegations
TotalEnergies has decided to pause its investment in Adani Green Energy until there is more clarity regarding a U.S. bribery case involving Indian billionaire Gautam Adani, as confirmed by CEO Patrick Pouyanne on Tuesday.
The French company, which currently holds a 19.8% stake in Adani Green, has other projects in its portfolio that will help meet its renewable energy expansion targets, Pouyanne explained during an interview at the Energy Intelligence Forum with Reuters.
Pouyanne further emphasized that the firm’s ongoing renewable energy initiatives remain unaffected by this pause, ensuring that TotalEnergies can still progress toward its sustainability goals. Read more

Indian billionaire Adani charged in US over $265m bribery allegations
Indian billionaire Gautam Adani was charged by US prosecutors for his alleged involvement in a $265-million bribery scheme, according to Reuters.
Multiple fraud allegations against Adani, one of the world’s richest men, and seven other defendants caused his companies’ stocks and bonds to plunge on Thursday. Adani Green Energy, the company targeted by the allegations, also cancelled a $600-million bond sale.
The charges followed a major upheaval at the Adani Group last year after Hindenburg Research released a report accusing it of misusing offshore tax havens. US federal prosecutors said the defendants agreed to bribe Indian government officials to win contracts that were expected to generate $2 billion in profits over 20 years.
They also alleged that Adani and another executive of the former Adani Green Energy CEO, Vneet Jaain, raised more than $3 billion in loans and bonds while hiding their corruption from lenders and investors. The three were charged with securities fraud, conspiracy to commit securities fraud and conspiracy to commit e-fraud. The US Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) stated:
Gautam and Sagar Adani were engaged in the bribery scheme during a September 2021 note offering by Adani Green that raised $750 million, including approximately $175 million from US investors. The SEC’s complaint against Gautam and Sagar Adani charges them with violating the antifraud provisions of the federal securities laws. The complaint seeks permanent injunctions, civil penalties, and officer and director bars.
Stocks plunging amid allegations
Shares in Adani Green Energy fell 17%, with shares in many of the conglomerate’s other companies losing more than 10%. The group lost $28 billion in value in trading on Thursday, taking the combined market capitalisation of its companies to $141 billion. Before last year’s Hindenburg report, the group enjoyed a market value of $235 billion.
Meanwhile, political opponents accused prime minister Narendra Modi’s administration of favouring Adani in government decisions. On Thursday, India’s Congress party repeated calls for a parliamentary enquiry into alleged wrongdoing by the Adani Group.
Five other defendants were charged with conspiracy to violate the Foreign Corrupt Practices Act, a US anti-bribery law, and four were charged with conspiracy to obstruct justice. However, none of the defendants were in custody, a spokesperson for US Attorney Breon Peace in Brooklyn said.
Shares in GQG Partners, an Australian-listed investment company that was a major backer of Adani, also fell 20%, the biggest one-day drop since it listed three years ago.
Gautam Adani’s fortune is estimated at $69.8bn according to Forbes, which makes him the second richest person in India after Mukesh Ambani.

In January, after New York-based short seller Hindenburg Research released a report accusing Adani Group of accounting fraud and stock manipulation, the Indian conglomerate defended itself by appealing to nationalism. “This is … a calculated attack on India, the independence, integrity and quality of Indian institutions, and the growth story and ambition of India,” the group said in a 413-page response refuting the allegations.
It is no surprise that Adani Group tied itself to India’s “growth story.” The industrial empire of Gautam Adani, the group’s founder, has been key to Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s vision for India, which centers on big infrastructure projects as drivers of growth. In turn, Adani’s support for Modi’s nation-building plans, from airports to green hydrogen plants, has propelled his conglomerate’s meteoric rise. From 2014 to December 2022, Adani Group’s market capitalization soared from $6.5 billion to more than $223 billion.
Hindenburg’s report triggered a sudden reversal, however. The value of Adani Group’s publicly traded stocks soon fell by more than half—a rout that has continued a month after the report’s release. Modi has chosen to remain quiet about the affair, even as it has raised serious questions about India’s economy.
If Adani Group seeks refuge from criticism by tying its success to that of India’s, then the converse must also be reckoned with: The collapse of its shares represents a stress test for India’s growth project. It has cast doubt on whether Modi’s strategy of propping up a few favored corporate titans can translate into lasting results on the ground. And, beyond that, whether Modi’s India can deliver on hopes that it could become a driver of global economic growth, as China was for the past three decades.
Modi’s rise has long been intertwined with that of Adani’s. As chief minister of Gujarat from 2001 to 2014, Modi made his name through his so-called Gujarat model of development, with its large infrastructure projects, such as dams, extensive highways, and solar power plants. Adani was critical not just to constructing many of these projects but also to bringing big business around to the idea of Modi as a potential prime minister. After Modi was elected in 2014, he flew from Gujarat to his new home of New Delhi in Adani’s private jet.
As Modi became India’s most popular leader since the republic’s first prime minister, Jawaharlal Nehru, Adani’s business interests expanded. His conglomerate partnered with the government on critical infrastructure projects within India and, increasingly, abroad. Since Modi entered office, Adani’s net worth increased by more than 5,000 percent to $150 billion in September 2022, making him Asia’s richest man before the scandal. His wealth came largely on the back of winning government contracts; expanding into strategic sectors, such as clean energy and defense; and building critical infrastructure projects. For instance, Adani Group secured seven out of the eight airports that the Indian government leased out to private companies. These kinds of contracts, in turn, led to more interest in Adani Group stock from investors.
The government has undoubtedly placed its trust in Adani, but the Hindenburg report could be a stumbling block in Modi’s plans to ensure that India remains the world’s fastest-growing major economy. After the brutal stock rout, the group called off a $2.5 billion share sale and had to delay its expansion plans. A margin call followed, leading Adani to prepay a $1.1 billion loan. Meanwhile, French energy giant TotalEnergies has put on hold a $4 billion investment in an Adani Group green hydrogen project.
Over his tenure, Modi has been unwilling or unable to push through structural reform that would allow more companies to enter new sectors without significant risk-taking. He therefore has no option but to depend on national champions, such as Adani. But even among Indian billionaires, Adani is unique. Very few businesspeople enjoy the government’s confidence, can navigate dizzying state regulation, and, most of all, are willing to risk enormous amounts of capital.
In 2015, Credit Suisse published its House of Debt report, which examined the precarious debt levels of 10 prominent Indian business groups with a significant presence in various infrastructure sectors. Out of the 10 groups, many have ended up in bankruptcy courts in recent years, while others have pursued debt consolidation plans. Only one group—the Adani conglomerate—has continued to borrow and invest at a breathtaking pace.
The Economist has estimated that the combined revenues of companies controlled by Adani and fellow tycoon Mukesh Ambani, chair of India’s Reliance Industries, are equivalent to 4 percent of India’s GDP. Firms controlled by the pair also account for nearly a quarter of the capital spending of all publicly traded non-financial firms.
While many analysts fret over whether Adani Group is too big to fail, the more pertinent question is whether Adani has been too integral to the Indian economic project to fail.
Modi now faces a difficult dilemma. On the one hand, he relies heavily on large infrastructure development delivered by India’s billionaires. For example, Adani plans to develop massive renewable energy projects—and without them, India would find it challenging to fulfill its commitment to meet 50 percent of its energy requirements with renewables by 2030.
On the other hand, if Modi continues to protect Adani—as India’s opposition has alleged—by not addressing Hindenburg’s allegations, he runs the risk of undermining the credibility of India’s corporate governance and, by extension, its growth narrative.
Although India’s financial regulatory institutions are far from perfect, India has an established history of investigating and punishing financial fraud. The Adani Group scandal, however, has cast doubt on the ability of these institutions—such as the Securities and Exchange Board of India (SEBI), the country’s capital markets regulator—to operate independently.
It’s worth asking whether the Adani saga could have been anticipated, investigated, and defused long before Hindenburg came along if watchdogs had done their job.
Consider, for instance, a puzzling question that Hindenburg has sought to address: What explains the mind-boggling rise in the price of many Adani Group stocks? The price-to-earnings ratio of Adani Enterprises, the conglomerate’s flagship entity, went from 37.6 to 343.9 in just two years. But as experts have pointed out, growth of that nature is typically seen in companies in the technology sector, not brick-and-mortar industries.
There could be innocuous explanations, but the fact that the company’s board of directors didn’t examine the issue publicly opened the door for worrying allegations put forth by Hindenburg. In particular, the short seller has alleged that Adani Group’s stocks are being inflated by the conglomerate itself through secretive offshore entities.
This brings us to the question of what India’s stock market and banking regulators were doing. Long before Hindenburg came along, news outlets had pointed to the existence of three Mauritius-based funds that appeared to only invest in Adani Group companies and whose ultimate ownership was opaque. Why weren’t these funds forced to furnish details of their ownership structure at any point in the last few years and nip allegations of “round-tripping” in the bud?
In addition, SEBI continued to sign off on the conglomerate’s fundraising proposals even though the Indian government disclosed in Parliament in 2021 that SEBI had begun a probe to investigate some Adani Group companies over “non-compliance of rules.” It’s unclear what the scope of the SEBI investigation was and whether it has concluded.
For years, India’s beleaguered political opposition has accused regulatory authorities of corruption and raised allegations of crony capitalism, specifically pointing to Adani. But given the opposition’s lack of specific allegations made against SEBI, it seems more likely that the economy and stock market’s overseers are simply indifferent and plagued by inertia. Regardless, these accusations, and the Adani Group controversy, have not hurt Modi’s popularity, thanks in part to his administration’s tight control over the mainstream media.
Yet there may be consequences that stem from outside of India’s borders. It’s possible that global investors will become less bullish on India if they think that Indian business empires won’t be able to build necessary infrastructure or be reined in by domestic regulatory systems. Overseas partnerships and joint ventures could face headwinds as well, just as the Adani-TotalEnergies partnership has.
A fair, independent, and transparent probe into the allegations against Adani Group could ease these fears. Modi has so far ignored demands for one made by opposition political parties. But continuing to do so could very well be damaging to the long-term economic interests of India, and the world, even if it does not hurt Modi politically in the short term.

Why Mutual Funds Invested in 46 Lakh Shares of Adani Enterprises Last Month?
In October, Mutual Fund invested in around 46 lakh shares of Adani Enterprises, and the number of shares increased by 2.5 crore in September to approx. 2.96 crore, as per a report.
Shares of Adani Enterprises, which saw a 20% drop on Thursday due to charges against billionaire Gautam Adani and seven others in the United States over a multibillion-dollar bribery and fraud scheme, were considered the top large-cap picks for mutual funds last month.
Adani Enterprises
According to data sourced from NSE, Quant Mutual Fund bought about 66.61 lakh shares of Adani Enterprises; on the other side, Invesco Mutual Fund sold approximately 7.57 lakh shares of the same stock.
Adani Power
Tata Mutual Fund decreased its holdings in Adani Power by selling approximately 19.99 lakh shares from its portfolio during October.
Adani Ports and Special Economic Zone (SEZ)
Sundaram Mutual Fund bought around 5.68 lakh shares of Adani Ports and Special Economic Zone (SEZ).
ACC
Nippon India Mutual Fund completely exited its position in ACC in October by selling around 82,224 shares.
As per the case filed on Gautam Adani by the US Securities and Exchange Commission, he has been charged with reportedly “defrauding American investors and bribing officials.” Adani, nephew of Adani, Cyril Cabanes, executives of Adani Green Energy, and an executive of Azure Power Global Ltd. were charged with “conspiracy to commit securities and wire fraud, as well as substantive securities fraud, for their role in the multi-billion-dollar scam to raise money from US investors and global financial institutions by misleading statements.”
According to the indictment, Adani and others who are involved paid around $265 million in bribes and expected that these contracts would bring $2 billion in profit over 20 years. Prosecutors said those involved in the scheme used the code names “Numero uno” and “the big man” to refer to Gautam Adani.
The indictment also charges that Adani, his nephew Sagar Adani, and another executive, Vneet Jaain, made things difficult by hiding bribes to obtain more than $3 billion in loans and bonds for Adani Green Energy.

जानिए क्या है सचाई Adani Case की - Adani Bribery & Fraud Allegations | Adani Companies to Fall More?
The Adani Group, one of India’s largest conglomerates, has become synonymous with rapid growth and diversification. Founded in 1988 by Gautam Adani, the group has established a formidable presence in infrastructure, energy, logistics, and more. While admired for its entrepreneurial spirit and contributions to India's economic development, the Adani Group has also been at the center of controversies, including allegations of monopolistic practices, environmental concerns, and financial irregularities. This case study examines the group’s meteoric rise, its business model, challenges, and its future outlook.
Origins and Expansion Gautam Adani started as a commodities trader and laid the foundation for the Adani Group in Ahmedabad. Over the years, the company diversified into critical sectors, aligning its growth with India's economic priorities:
Ports and Logistics:
Adani Ports and Special Economic Zone (APSEZ) is India’s largest port operator, managing major ports like Mundra, India's largest commercial port.
The group's integrated logistics solutions, including rail and road networks, strengthened its position in global trade.
Energy and Power:
Adani Power became India's largest private thermal power producer.
The group has heavily invested in renewable energy, with Adani Green Energy becoming one of the world’s largest solar energy companies.
Agriculture and Food Processing:
With ventures in agri-infrastructure, edible oils, and food processing, the group contributes to India's agrarian economy.
New Ventures:
The group has entered airports, data centers, and defense manufacturing, showcasing its ambition to dominate multiple industries.
Business Model and Strategy The Adani Group’s growth has been characterized by:
Infrastructure-Driven Expansion: Strategic investments in infrastructure aligned with government priorities, such as ports, airports, and renewable energy projects.
Leveraging Debt: The group has consistently relied on significant debt to finance its expansion, raising questions about financial sustainability.
Vertical Integration: Ownership across the value chain, such as coal mining, transportation, and power generation, enhances efficiency and profitability.
Public-Private Partnerships: Collaboration with government projects, such as the Udan initiative for regional air connectivity, has boosted its portfolio.
Achievements
Global Leadership in Renewables: Adani Green Energy has positioned India as a leader in clean energy by undertaking massive solar and wind projects.
Economic Impact: The group's investments have created jobs, supported local communities, and contributed to India's GDP.
International Footprint: Acquisitions like Australia's Carmichael coal mines and collaborations in Sri Lanka and Israel have made the group a global player.
Controversies and Criticism
Environmental Concerns:
The Carmichael coal project in Australia faced global backlash for its environmental impact and proximity to the Great Barrier Reef.
Allegations of Favoritism:
Critics allege that the Adani Group has benefited disproportionately from its close ties with the Indian government, especially under the Narendra Modi administration.
Debt and Financial Transparency:
As of recent years, the group's debt levels have raised concerns among investors, with allegations of opaque financial practices.
Hindenburg Report:
In January 2023, Hindenburg Research accused the Adani Group of stock manipulation and accounting fraud. While the group denied these allegations, its market valuation saw a sharp decline, affecting investor confidence.
Response to Challenges
Legal Actions: The group has taken steps to address allegations, including independent audits and legal challenges.
Debt Reduction Plans: Adani announced plans to prioritize deleveraging its balance sheet and focus on cash-flow-positive projects.
Commitment to Sustainability: Increasing investments in renewable energy aim to counter criticisms of its fossil fuel ventures.
Future Prospects The Adani Group’s focus on renewable energy, digital infrastructure, and global expansion aligns with global trends. Its ambitious projects, such as hydrogen production and smart cities, reflect its vision for long-term sustainability and innovation.
However, the group must address concerns about governance, financial transparency, and environmental stewardship to maintain investor confidence and public trust.
Conclusion The Adani Group embodies the duality of modern corporate giants: remarkable growth and innovation tempered by controversies and challenges. Its journey offers valuable lessons in ambition, risk-taking, and the importance of sustainable practices in achieving global leadership.
